Mortgage Loan Originator License Tracking
Track NMLS-licensed loan originator status and annual renewal across your team.
Why this gets hard to manage manually
MLOs must be licensed and registered through the NMLS, with an annual renewal window and continuing education requirement. ComplyNestly tracks each officer's license status and CE progress.
The NMLS annual renewal period is a fixed, narrow window (typically November-December) — miss it, and an originator loses the ability to originate loans starting January 1st, a direct and immediate business impact.

Frequently asked questions
When does the NMLS annual renewal period occur?
Typically November 1 through December 31 each year — confirm the exact current-year window directly with NMLS.
Do I need to track state-specific registrations separately?
Yes — an MLO's federal NMLS registration is paired with state-specific license endorsements, which ComplyNestly can track individually.
Is there a free way to try this?
Yes. The Free plan supports up to 5 employees and 1 location, no credit card required.
Where this information comes from
MLO licensing is governed by the federal SAFE Act, administered through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System with state-specific components. ComplyNestly does not verify licenses or provide legal advice.
